Newer J-pop that kicks your butt?

[*Petit*]

Thank you for starting this thread. I also have problems finding artists that I like across the board. I do like some babymetal songs though and try to keep up to date with their releases. I can understand why it's polarizing music though, some of the songs are basically novelty songs. I usually like fun novelty songs so it's not a problem for me.

So much of the music just strikes me as generic, and sometimes like the artists don't even really care about making music that much (this isn't just JPOP, this is a lot of more contemporary music to me).

That said, I have liked a bunch by Beverly. She's really talented overall, it's just a matter of some of her songs being more interesting than others.

I love one vision! Thanks for sharing!
